FAQ
Alfa Laval forced-air pre-cooling systems in Markman
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a cheese maturation rooms site in Markman?
Markman sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Markman Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency forced-air pre-cooling systems runs 24/7 because humidity swings crack rinds and stall ripening.
Do you stock OEM components for Alfa Laval systems?
Yes — Alfa Laval plate packs, gaskets and cleaning-in-place chemistry. Alfa Laval (Sweden) equipment on R134a charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every forced-air pre-cooling systems job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Cheese Maturation Rooms run at +8 °C to +14 °C at 80–90% RH, with forced-air pre-cooling systems performed against −1 °C to +4 °C air-off at high airflow. Humidity swings crack rinds and stall ripening
